It’s sad people just don’t understand that having just one large tree can change the temp around your house. If every did it it would be so much cooler
I got free mesquite trees from a chip drop that i spread around my land in tonopah. I watered the woodchips and 20 mesquites 5 palms and a palo verde sprouted. I have started to compost and spread more chips i hope to one day have a place like your in a few years. Thanks so much J for all the info you put out. Have you ever grown a big Monkeypod? Thats my dream
Happy birthday, good to see you back! That's a lovely exhibition of shade trees indeed!Please, do consider to make a video about edible shade fruiting trees! Carobs (Ceratonia siliqua), are also microclimate pro, since they're evergreen and drought tolerant, as well as nitrogen fixers, provide pollen and nectar to bees, as well as producing edible pods!
Your video is very first I was able to find, that explains the creation of micro-climate! Almost started panicking when realized I’m moving to the desert and tree shade are almost nonexistent compared to Northern California 🥹 Grateful for your input 🤘
Ficus Nitida is king. It is a heavy duty air purifier and produces sweet smelling flowers in summer. Invasive roots so be sure to water deeply and ensure distance from pipes, walls and foundations.
Happy Birthday! I love your shade trees. I have all of them except that mine are much smaller than yours (only 2 years old). The jacarandas seem to grow much slower than the others, but the mesquite is the fastest.
I have huge boxelder In my back yard in Tx 3 trees grew up together. Abundance of seeds in fall too. Leaves grt for mulch in winter. Ton of Moringa from seeds also.
I love the mesquite tree i have 20 in my backyard 3 mature 6 Junior and 11 young one 3 mature i bought from a nursery when young and the rest came from the 3 mature seed pod 🌳
Your place is a forest 🌳. The shade is considered as “gold” in Arizona probably, but I’m sure not everyone will agree about the huge tree branches over the roof of your house. It’s an accident waiting to happen. I remember Jake Mace mesquite tree...when the big branch fell...it was a lot of work cleaning up, and lucky it was far enough from the house.
Hey Jay, I just had a 24inch boxed sized honey mesquite tree planted in my front yard by a tree company (due to the size and there was some granite they were able to grind away). The tree leaves have been turning yellow since a few days after planting and my immediate thought is overwatering, but it's tough to diagnose since the tree has a natural tendency to weep. I've been constantly observing the leaves and found some tips getting dry and crinkly so now I think the water didn't get enough water is not getting enough water. My mistake was I didn't see the company put the tree in and it didn't look like they watered it so I watered later that day on low for 2 hours with a hose, then 5 days later again, about 8 gallons and it's been getting more and more yellow leaves so I've been watering every 2-3 days with a deep water irrigator and I mixed in sand and palm/desert soil mix to help improve the drainage. The soil seems moist 6 inches below but not overly wet. Do you think I am under or overwatering this tree? Thanks
I really like this idea of using potted heat-loving trees as moveable shade. Any others to consider in addition to Jacaranda and Royal Poinciana? Anyone growing Amla or Golden Medallion in pots?
Watching this I realize I’ve been by your place. I don’t think you were open. Was looking for some fruit trees for a property. I’ll have to come by again sometime when you’re open.
What is your watering schedule for your mesquite? I'm planning to plant some from seed to shade our 1-acre property and want to encourage them to grow big like yours!
@@azgardener79 thanks for the response! I hope to get to that point once my trees are established. Did you water when your trees were young? If so, how much?
RAINBOW EUCALYPTUS!!!!!! HOW? It's frost sensitive. I'd love to have one in my lancape . Unfortunately I live in a cold valley location. My Moringa froze to the ground this past winter as did my Hong Kong orchid tree.
I live at 4600' elevation in Cochise County. Would any of these work? I had 6 in of snow last January for a few days. But that was an exception I am told.
Hi Jay. It is pronounced “Hacaranda” just like the “ha” in the word “hacker”. By the way I’m interested in a multi grafted mulberry. I’ll be moving from CO to Tucson where I believe I can grow one. Have a good day
Actually, the word "jacarandá" originates from Tupi-guarani, an indigenous South American language by way of Portuguese initially. Both of those languages would pronounce it with the same "J" sound as in English, just as in this video.
No issues with the eucalyptus tree roots destroying pipes/walls and competing with other plants grown under it? Been wanting to grow one for my country haha, we have such an arid hot desert enviroment
What type of mesquite tree is this? Honey Mesquite? Also, could you do a video on shade tree location strategy? You mentioned the shade trees blocking the afternoon sun. I'm curious, do you plant them on the west edge of the property, middle of property, or east of property for the microclimate effect. Love the videos! Thanks.
I'd have to disagree with the moringa being a good shade tree. I am around tucson and mine die back to the ground every year. It never gets big enough to shade a whole lot. It's better as a hedge then a tree.
I could use some advice.... What does the soil mix you're using in the pots/containers consist of? Ingredients and ratio please? I bought fox farm happy frog soil conditioner and i mix in perlite, vermiculite, peat moss, compost, and cheap home depot soil mixes.... I started off using that but then I realized that has too much fertilizer is too hot for the young seedlings and kills em so i started mixing in 50/50 native dirt ... I been gardening for a long time but im from wisconsin, born and raised so this arizona growing is tough for me
come by the nursery and i can help. i try not to give out my formulas publicly, not because i dont want to share, but because other companies like to steal info
Hey HB have you had any success with Mimosa or Ice Cream Bean as Nitro fixing shade trees? Even in pots, I’m out in the Mojave in SoCal and have a hard time finding any good trees without smuggling them through an Ag check point
You don't need any luck with a mimosa tree they will dump all of their seed pods in July and then you spend all year long(if you don't pick them up) tearing out mimosa trees that have sprouted all over your yard😒😂
Anyone know a shade tree for St George (lot like Las Vegas climate-wise, maybe 5 degrees "cooler ") that DOESN'T have invasive roots, so, a deep taproot?
#1: Mesquite
#2: Jacaranda
#3: Rainbow Eucalyptus
#4: Moringa
#5: Royal Poinciana
Thank you

Wow, only 8 years to grow the mesquite tree that big. That's pretty good. HB
Have a Happy Birthday!
🥳🥳💋💋❤HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAY!!!❤💋💋🥳🥳
Happy Birthday 🎈 Jay!!
Happy birthday! I have to come see your nursery sometime! Sending you love from Tucson !
I got to say , this is one of the most beautiful mesquite tree that I’ve seen , I’m going to plant two of them
Woooow! 8 years growth. That's a huge tree for that short period of time. Amazing. Beautiful.
Wow congrats u have beautiful trees , just saw the whole video

There's also a burnt orange flowering Royal Poinseannas or Flamboyant trees as we call them in the Caribbean.
Have a Happy Birthday, enjoy! Love your videos.

Our Willow Acacia tress our great for our front yard shade and fast growing.
I have huge boxelder
In my back yard in Tx
3 trees grew up together.

Underwatering. Box trees are on timers to water them everyday. Which you have to do until it establishes.
@@ArizonaFruitTrees Thanks boss!
Happy birthday 🎈🎁🎊

It’s still crazy to think that size mesquite grew within 8 years

Thanks for share host

Happy birthday jay...
What is your watering schedule for your mesquite? I'm planning to plant some from seed to shade our 1-acre property and want to encourage them to grow big like yours!
I have a few mesquite trees here in 9b. My watering schedule is :I dont water them at all :)
@@azgardener79 thanks for the response! I hope to get to that point once my trees are established. Did you water when your trees were young? If so, how much?
@@tiffanyshepherd3358 I watered maybe twice a month and stopped altogether around year 2
@@azgardener79 thank you!!
@@tiffanyshepherd3358 no prob
Wouldn't it be nice if the whole street planted them along the road.

What kind of mesquite?
Happy Birthday! 🎉
Happy Birthday!!!
I would like one of the red Royal Poinciana
I live at 4600' elevation in Cochise County. Would any of these work? I had 6 in of snow last January for a few days. But that was an exception I am told.
Happy Birthday!
What are all the bags in front of the mesquite? How do you handle any mistletoe on your mesquite? Love the video.👍
Apart from the shade & cooling of the Mesquite tree what other benefits does it have? Fragrant flowers, nitrogen fixing etc?
can you suggest what kind of tree will grow fast because my property dont have any tree and its very hot during summer
Hi Jay. It is pronounced “Hacaranda” just like the “ha” in the word “hacker”. By the way I’m interested in a multi grafted mulberry. I’ll be moving from CO to Tucson where I believe I can grow one. Have a good day

None yet, huge tree!

@@chosen2030 yes!

Mesquite beans are edible and can make excellent flour
I planted a moringa in my front yard. While it is beautiful when flowering, it is very messy.
What kind of Mesquite tree is that?
Chilean mesquite
Where can you buy these trees for an affordable price?
You said the Rainbow Eucalytus tree needs lots of water. Arizona does not have lots of water!
Do you have a royal poinciana for sale?
How do you manage the moringa through the winter? I’ve had a couple die and not come back through freezing.
What kind of Mesquite is It?
I'm going to assume you don't have any trees that can grow in 5a, ie show low az...
Do you have royal poincianas and jacarandas in stock?
I'd have to disagree with the moringa being a good shade tree. I am around tucson and mine die back to the ground every year. It never gets big enough to shade a whole lot. It's better as a hedge then a tree.

No sissoo?
damn i bet that takes alot of water
MESQUITE TREE IS SHIT. I HAD TO CUT IT AFTER 21 YEARS MAKING MESS AND WASTING MONEY IN PRUNING. I PAID $ 1200.00
